THORN

OF
THUNDER

And he rooted us

With an honorable people

Beneath Our Lord’s

Only steeple -

Our inheritance

Assembly filled

An abode of Saints

Bones crushed were thrilled -

When pearls of peace

Silver-sacraments plundered

From early bird song

Then the thorn of thorns thundered -

Sheep struck by lightening

Bruised by hail

Submerged in a maelstrom’s

Violent gale -

But the thorn owned thunder

From above to quell -

Raining down what was given -

And the thorn’s thunder rocked Hell!!
